GDT: Giants @ Braves 5/4

Folty sucks

[thethe]

Except he hasn’t been all that lucky this season.

When you acknowledge the basic fact that he has no clue where his pitches are going you realize that he's lucky every time out.

[CJ9]

If we don’t pinch hit for Folty here, I will lose my mind.

[USMA76]

I've had car loans that took less time than the top of the second inning.

[thethe]

There's no late bloom coming here unless you get a smart pitching coach in here. We have what we here, a teaser number four starter that will tease, but really is...Nathan Eovaldi 2.0.

Thing is, guys like Max Fried don't have anything either. Sean Newcomb has something if he can keep his walk rate under control, and there are prospects in the minors (including Soroka who has debuted), that have a better chance than round 1, but outside of Newcomb (unless you count him as round 2), every single round 1 has busted.

How can you make the claim that fried has nothing? Legitimate question I'm curious what you are basing this on?

I feel like it's all mental with Mike.

Doesn't matter if it's physical or mental. It just isn't getting any better. He is just not a guy you can count on

[Runnin]

Ballgame. Good job boys just leave him in to give up a touchdown.

Of course you leave him in. Game far from over.

Control and command mean diddly squat unless you can average at least 92+ MPH, and he doesn't.

He's a number four starter too.

[Hawk]

Agreed.

[sturg33]

Don't forget... Our offense is good.

This ain't over

[thethe]

lol

You keep laughing sir and I will be proven right over time on this. If you can't locate your fastball consistently you are worthless as a pitcher

This is going to better than Lincoln-Douglass.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Inconsistent Folty. Until he can piece at least a few good outings together without one like this, he won’t take the next step he needs to.

Fried averages that no problem.

Agreed

[CyYoung31]

I hope Mike is just in there to bunt.

[USMA76]

I feel like it's all mental with Mike.

Isn't a brain required before anything can be "mental?"

[bravesfanMatt]

all hale Thethe for calling folty bust..

Might be time for me to put you back on mute for a little while.
